The Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) in Peru has approved regulations for Legislative Decree No. 1627, which promotes the deployment of public telecommunications services using fifth-generation (5G) technology or higher in the country. This decision marks a significant step towards strengthening connectivity, promoting digitalization, boosting productivity, and reducing technological gaps for the benefit of citizens. The regulation establishes a special framework for direct spectrum allocation, prioritizing companies interested in the resource in exchange for mandatory investment commitments. Deputy Minister of Communications Carla Sosa Vela believes this mechanism will have a positive impact on local development and the Peruvian digital ecosystem. The regulation outlines legal, technical, and economic-financial requirements for company participation, as well as provisions for the call for proposals and processing of requests for expressions of interest. An auction process will prioritize companies with the largest investment commitments to ensure efficient spectrum distribution. This will enable the full potential of 5G technology to be utilized and expand coverage throughout the country. The MTC emphasizes that this measure represents a milestone in the modernization of telecommunications in Peru, driving the development of new services and the digitalization of key sectors such as mining, healthcare, and education. The ministry reaffirms its commitment to creating an enabling environment for investment in telecommunications infrastructure and ensuring more Peruvians access the benefits of 5G technology, ultimately promoting sustainable development in the country.
